EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: AS you

opportunity to call attention to mani
festly unjust attitude toward our citizens

Now, Mr.. Editor, do you not think 1t would
fort to increase the force of, or in, the
health department than to purchase driv-
ing gloves at public expense? It is to be
hoped that the "little brief authority' with
which our board is clothed may be very
"brief' indeed, otherwise the community

wrenched His Hack.

LYNDoSvILLF, ORLEANS Co., N. Y, April 2,
1sS5.-About year ago, imprudently stepped
of the Hudson River cars while they were In
motion. In tryingto save myself from fef-
full fall wrenched my back terribly. The
next day could not walk, and suffered pain
from my neck to my heels. Various applica-
tions were made, but nothing which was
done abated my suffering. Being anxious to
get up and attend to business, determined to
place three Allcock's Porous Plasters, one
above the other, on my back. In about an hour
and a half they caused considerable itchiug.
The pain and soreness sensibly decreased. and
rested pretty well that night. The next
morning the itching began to be quite severe
under the plasters. To get some relief, / had
my back well rubbed crossways over the Plas-
tiers. was surprised within two hours after
ward to find the pain and soreness almost gone
Istayed in bed that day; and the morning after
ward got up and attended to business.

The Supervising Engineers Not Re-

Mr.. Coryell, the civil engineer In charge
Of the water works tunnel, says that the
army engineers were not responsible for the
error In the first survey for that work, which
was discovered and corrected. The first
survey was made by civil engineers, the
army engineers merely supervising the
work. Capt Symons stated yesterday that
the first survey was not expected to be cor
rect; that 1t was only preliminary, and was
intended to be tested aud corrected, as II
was, when the work was far enough ad.

DIR. CRAwFORD's COUN Sell
Contends That the Utah Law Is In
valid In the District.

The police court yesterday did not at
tract the crowd in the DR.. Crawford case
that was present on the previous day. The
people were aware that the lawyers would
have battle Of words and discuss technical
points Of law, and such matters were not
of public interest. Shortly after o'clock
the arguments were begun on the demurrer.
The demurrer sets forth: "First, the said
informations, nor does either one of them,
charge this defendant with the violation OF
any law, ordnance, or act OF Congress in
force in the District Of Columbia. Second,
that said informatons are insufficient, i'm.
perfect, and uncertain, aud do not charge
the commission of any offense In the Dis
trict OF Columbia
Mr.. Charles Moore, attorney for DR.. Craw-
ford, opened the argument, and his main
point was that the Utah law was not ap.
plicable to the Dis trict.
Attorney Lipscomb held that It was, and
that 1t was In use here in divorce cases.
The court, after hearing the evidence, re-
served Its decision. 1t is believed that
Judge Harper will announce his conclusions

The old adage that necessity is
the mother of invention" was forci-
bly, illustrated to us this week.
Two colored men, John Wilson
and William Larkin, living three
miles below Colfax, have patches
OF sorghum cane, but no molasses.
Failing to get a mill to grind it
they set their wits to work to make
molasses. Stripping the fodder
from the stalks, they cut them into
small pieces obout an inch in
length. These pieces they then
had their wives to put into ordinary
wash pots and boil and skim off
all dross. The outcome was about
three gallons of pretty fair molas-
ses. Here is an idea that others
may profit by who have no mills
to grind their cane.
